Free WalkSafe app launches in Manchester

Submitted by michelle.foster on

The WalkSafe app, which is free to download, is an initiative aimed at helping people make safe journeys no matter the time of day.

It lets people pick known safe routes through the city, as well as allowing them to share their location with family or friends, as well as sending an automatic alert out if a person fails to reach their intended destination.

The roll out of this app goes hand in hand with the steps already taken by the City Council and its partners across Manchester to make the nighttime economy safe for everyone, but especially women.

Are you new to working or volunteering in the criminal justice system? Do you have volunteers or staff members who want to increase their understanding of the criminal justice system? The criminal justice system can be quite daunting to understand because of both its size and complexity. This three-hour workshop aims to increase awareness of and provide opportunity for voluntary sector staff and volunteers to explore and discuss how the criminal justice system is organised, the complexities within it, and how it works.

Cost: from £75

North of England Criminal Justice Forum

This criminal justice forum has been organised to bring together partners working across the criminal justice system in the North of England. The forum will provide an opportunity for people to hear about current and future developments and discuss policy and practice affecting their day-to-day work.

It aims to create a space to step away from the day job and provide an opportunity to share good practice, strengthen partnership working, and discuss any opportunities or challenges your organisation may be currently facing.
